This is not as simple as it sounds, of course, because the regulators would also have plenty of incentives for bad behavior.
I actually think that government regulation can be tremendously useful in certain circumstances. But it's not a magic solution, and you have to be clever about it. In the particular case of political news, the potential downsides of giving too much power to regulators are at least as dangerous as giving too much power to Facebook or Google.
